How to help those impacted by Hurricane Irma

(MIAMI) — Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida on Sunday, days after the powerful storm’s winds and rain devastated many islands in the Caribbean.

Many humanitarian organizations are still reeling from the massive devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which inundated Houston with deadly floodwater less than two weeks ago.

Here are some ways to help those impacted by Irma. All of the charity organizations below have been approved by the nonprofit group Charity Navigator as highly-rated organizations that are currently responding to areas affected by Irma.

American Red Cross

“The Red Cross has mobilized its second massive hurricane response in two weeks to help people affected by Hurricane Irma,” the organization said in a statement on its website. “Relief efforts stretch from the U.S. Virgin Islands through Florida to the mid-Atlantic region.”

The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help with Irma relief efforts on its website and by phone at 1- 800-RED CROSS. People can also text the word “IRMA” to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

This international humanitarian organization that is affiliated with the U.S. Catholic church and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, has already begun responding to the devastation in the Caribbean, providing shelter, water, hygiene kits and other supplies to those displaced by Irma. Information on how to donate and where the funds are being allocated is available on its website.

Heart to Heart International, which focuses on providing access to health care, is preparing a disaster team and Mobile Medical Unit to respond in Florida and other parts of the U.S. where Irma hits, according to its website.

“Hurricane Irma has already caused significant damage, and millions more people live in its path. Our relief workers are on the ground in several different locations, coordinating with partners and standing ready to help address health needs resulting from the storm,” Garrett Ingoglia, Americares’ vice president of emergency response, said in a statement on the group’s website, which is currently accepting donations.

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund has already begun responding to Irma’s devastation in the Caribbean. The humanitarian group, which focuses on advocating for children, is also preparing for its response to those affected in the U.S. The group is accepting donations via text and on its website.

The non-demonimational Christian organization has already responded on the ground, bringing critical supplies to those affected by Irma in St. Maarten, and announced on its website that it is “ready to go” in Florida. Donations can be submitted on its website.
